Our Data Fuels Fisheries
Primary Research

Anglers have a role to play in helping collect valuable data on the state of our fisheries.

Conventional Fisheries Research is Expensive

Conventional survey methods, such as creel surveys and netting surveys, provide important tools for research and management. They are however, too expensive to scale up to the millions of fishbearing waters, but this is where anglers can help!

Your Angler Data is Helping Fill the Gap

By working with anglers, we can vastly expand the fisheries we currently monitor, helping the researchers and managers better understand our fisheries. We publish excerpts of our research, showing exactly how angler data is being used in research and in management.
